Obviously, a lot of famous movie stars take their fitness really seriously.
Acting and bodybuilding have a lot of essentials in common — the way you look plays a huge role in how successful you will be at either. A lot of actors have seen the light about the gym way of life and taken more than a few lessons away from professionals in the world of strength sports. Here are some famous actors who could definitely make it as professional bodybuilders.

Michael B. Jordan
Obviously Hollywood has already noticed this one, since he’s constantly playing boxers and other athletes on the silver screen. Michael B. Jordan has an impressive physique for someone who isn’t a professional athlete, and if he ever stepped foot on the Olympia stage, he would probably be a contender.
Hugh Jackman
Another leading Hollywood man known for his impressive physique, Hugh Jackman is probably best known for playing the impossibly ripped (and scarred) Wolverine in the X-Men franchise. Like Michael B. Jordan, if Hugh Jackman really applied himself, he could be one of the greats of the sport.
Terry Crews
Terry Crews has an insane physique for a normal human being, but not the massive, mind-bending definition of a professional bodybuilder. It’s obvious he has great genes and can really commit to fitness within the space of his acting career, but imagine what that would look like realized to its fullest.
Channing Tatum
This is kind of a cheap shot because, as a former stripper, Channing Tatum understands better than anybody the importance of keeping fit. However, if he just learned to funnel those talents into bodybuilding, it would be really interesting to see how far he could go.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake Gyllenhaal has been known to bulk up for a lot of his more athletic roles. It’s clear he has a naturally toned physique, but it would be absolutely amazing to see him take it to the next level as a bodybuilder.
Kumail Nanjiani
We all know where we were when Kumail Nanjiani broke the internet posting this fitness update to Instagram. This is how you know he’s bodybuilder material – he started with almost nothing, and he put his all in at the gym to achieve some truly incredible results. If he bulked up a little more through the arms and back, he’d be Olympia-ready.
